liberation

It is possible to exist between fixed identities.

Not only is it possible, but it's exactly what we do, mostly.

We attach ourselves, at times, to concrete archetypal identities, but we move around within and without them.

This is such a simple idea, but it's one I tend to forget, in trying to organize and control everything all the time.

We don't have to identify as black or white or even gray. We can, and do, exist with fluidity in the spaces between. We can let go.

Inhale. Exhale. Mmmmmm.

I want to reread The Tao of Pooh.
